Community investment

At Enbridge, we believe a community belongs to everyone who lives there. And, no matter who we are or where we live, all of us want to make life better for our families, our friends, our neighbors and ourselves.

We exist to help fuel quality of life within communities where we work and operate in North America, and we do this by partnering with organizations that champion solutions for safety, environmental and social issues. In 2017 we invested more than US$19.1 million (nearly C$23.9 million) in community-strengthening initiatives across the U.S. and Canada.

We also look for ways for our employees to get involved in community programs, and we support them as they make contributions to organizations that are important to them. We encourage employee volunteerism through Enbridge's Our Community Partners and Helping Hands in Action programs, which support the organizations for which our employees volunteer.

Safe Community

Since its launch, Enbridge's Safe Community program has invested nearly US$9.6 million (C$12 million) in first responder organizations near our pipelines and facilities.
